Research use only

All materials supplied through this site are intended exclusively for laboratory research conducted by qualified personnel. They are not drugs, not dietary supplements, not medical devices, and not cosmetics.

They are not for human or veterinary administration, ingestion, injection, topical application, or any form of consumption. No material offered here has been evaluated or approved for such use.

Who may purchase

Purchases are intended for research institutions, laboratories, and qualified personnel acquiring materials for legitimate research purposes.

By placing an order you confirm that you are acquiring the materials for laboratory research and not for human or veterinary consumption, and that you are 21 years of age or older.

Your responsibilities as purchaser

You are responsible for determining that the materials are suitable and lawful for your intended research, for handling and storing them safely, and for complying with the rules that apply where you are.

  • Confirm the material is appropriate for your research before use
  • Handle and store it under appropriate laboratory conditions
  • Comply with the laws, licensing requirements, and institutional policies that apply to you
  • Do not resell, transfer, or supply the material for human or veterinary use

No guidance on use

We do not provide dosing information, administration protocols, or advice on use in humans or animals, and we will not do so on request. Requests of that kind may result in the account being closed.

Technical information we publish describes physicochemical properties, analytical methodology, handling, and findings reported in the scientific literature. It is not instruction for use.

Consequences of misuse

Any indication that material supplied by us was administered to a human or an animal voids any guarantee attached to the order, and we may cancel pending orders and close the account.

No warranty of fitness for a particular purpose

We warrant identity and purity as stated in each lot's Certificate of Analysis. We make no representation that any material is fit for a particular research application; determining that is yours.
